One night in Barbados

[cindyjay]

We are spending one night before our cruise. I am looking for suggestions for a place to stay. Something rather inexpensive if possible. I don't even really have a clue as to what area to stay in. I am guessing someplace near that airport/cruise terminal. Thanks!:D

Can you tell me what ship you will be boarding.. not that it makes a difference but I don't want you to start a really great cruise off with a really dumpy hotel. there are a number of places on the south coast that I would recommend. Accra Beach Hotel, Sea Breeze Beach Hotel. Blue Waters, Amarylis, Savannah Hotel. All differenct Prices but places I would recommend to anyone.

Thats a great cruise..

 

Check online for the Amarylis or Savannah hotels. those are very nice. Those are both on the South Coast. You can also try the new Barbados Hilton, which is not far from the port and you would likely be able to see the ship come in that morning. the Hilton has been rebuilt and only just opened a month or so ago.

 

Have a great trip and good luck

I stayed at the Atlantis Hotel in Bathsheba for a night,

(they claim a minimum 2 or 3 nite stay, but I emailed them and they were happy to book my 1 night stay).

 

The hotel is somewhat rundown but it is clean and the plumbing works. It is about 100 feet from the surf and the rooms have balconeys overlooking the ocean. The beach is stunning; the boulders are bigger than photos portray. They have an outdoor restaurant lit by candlelight. I had the fish and it was pretty tasty.

 

If you are the surfer type, you might enjoy it; if you are a middle class snob, then you won't.
